Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups peanut oil
1/2 pound fresh pork, shredded into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/2 pound chicken cutlets, shredded into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 1/2 cups bamboo shoots, shredded into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/3 cup Chinese mushrooms, soaked, washed, squeezed dry, stems discarded and caps shredded
1 tablespoon dry white wine
2 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Pinch of white pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 sheets fresh rice noodle

Steps:

  • Blanch the filling ingredients in hot oil in the following way: Heat wok over high heat, add oil and heat to 300 to 325 degrees. Add pork, loosening the meat with a spatula. Add chicken in the same manner. Add vegetables. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, turn off heat, and remove with a large strainer. Drain over a large bowl. Reserve the oil left in the wok for another use.
  • Wash the wok, place back on stove, heat and dry with a paper towel.
  • Reheat the wok and stir-fry the meat and vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine and mix well.
  • Make a well in the center of the ingredients, pour in the sauce mixture, and mix thoroughly. When the mixture thickens, add sesame oil and mix well. Remove the filling to a shallow dish and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Unwrap the rice noodle, roll it out with its sticky side up and flatten it with the fingers. With a scraper cut out skins, 6 inches by 6 inches.
  • Along one edge, line filling, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll the skin tightly, trim the ends and place on a heatproof dish or plate. Repeat until all of the filling is used.
  • Place the dish in a steamer and steam for 10 to 15 minutes, or until hot. Serve immediately.

RICE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Categories     quick, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 large or 4 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 pound rice noodles, preferably linguine size
1/4 cup neutral oil, like corn or canola
1/3 pound boneless chicken, shredded or cut into small dice
1/2 to 1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup sugar snap or snow peas, slivered
1/2 cup shiitake mushroom caps, sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or white wine
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 or 4 scallions, trimmed and slivered, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cover noodles in hot water while preparing the other ingredients. Heat a pot of water until steam rises.
  • Put all but a tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large skillet, and turn heat to high. When it smokes, add the chicken, and stir until it loses its color; it doesn't cook through. Remove with slotted spoon.
  • Add bean sprouts, peas and shiitakes. Stir until wilted and beginning to brown. Add sauces and wine. Remove from the pan.
  • Drain noodles, and dip them in the boiling water with tongs or in a strainer for about 5 seconds. Drain. Add remaining oil and the egg to pan, still over high heat. Stir to scramble. Add drained noodles and cooked ingredients, and toss, lifting (scrape, if necessary) repeatedly until all are mixed together and hot. Garnish, and serve.
